From January to May we experienced a Recital, Every Day School Life, a Birthday and Pascha!

June through December we experienced another recital, a heart attack, a graduation, a wedding, and more birthdays.

Other 2013 Highlights include: Honeybear reading the Epistle for the first time, growing a garden, and I became an Orthodox Godmother for the first time.

My friend Susan has organized a blog fair around the theme of Remembering the Real in 2013. Tomorrow’s blog fair theme is Looking Forward to the Real in 2014. Check out this list of participating bloggers!

I loved seeing your pictures as you remembered 2013 :-) I sounds like a real year of ups and downs, and lots of happiness. I also had to go back and read the better butter post because I'm currently looking for a better way to cook and eat. Happy New Year!
